Global Leadership Summit 2010 Day 2: Daniel H. Pink
From the conference notes:
Best-selling author, business thinker, and former White House speechwriter, Daniel Pink has been credited with defining a new era in the workplace. His provocative business books describe the changing world of work.
In A Whole New Mind, Pink examined the rise of "right brain" skills that will be required in modern economies. His latest book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, analyzes the scientific data behind high performance and vocational satisfaction.
Pink's articles on business and technology have appeared in The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Wired where he is a contributing editor.
A sought-after speaker, he addresses corporations, associations, and universities around the world on economic transformation and the new workplace.
From my personal notes:
- People are so much more complex than their biology – their physical needs – their biological drive.
- Humans respond exquisitely to their "reward and punishment drive".
- We do things because they are interesting.
